2018 New Years Eve Parties with Live Music – Charleston, SC

Whenever I hit the town for New Years Eve, live music is a must. While I certainly understand the argument “New Years Eve is the most overrated night of the year!” … New Years Eve live music shows are a different breed. What Phish does at Madison Square Garden is a prime example. All the incredible bands in Nashville throw their own parties with confetti and covers you’d never normally hear. Nothing is more joyous than live music and the people who attend those shows. You’ll make 10 new friends easily. So, here’s what’s brewing around Charleston,SC for the final night of 2018:

See WaterDJ Moldy BrainCost: $30 (includes champagne)What to Expect: See Water is a mix of reggae and punk rock – like a heavier Sublime. They recently did an all Black Sabbath covers show, which rocked the Pour House. I expect a lot of fun. Having a DJ between sets will keep the party going in Charleston’s best dive bar. $5 gets you a tall boy of PBR and a whiskey shot all night.

Perpetual GrooveCost: $25/$30 at doorWhat to Expect: This nationally touring band brings with them an incredible light show. If you love Umphrey’s McGee, you’ll love this band. Having the indoor and outdoor bars leaves plenty of room for everyone.

What to Expect: If my boys and I weren’t married, this would be without question my spot. It’s a young crowd and with two floors and a large deck, there’ll be a lot of action. Danny May is an incredible musician whose covers will for sure get everyone on the second floor dancing. Plus, there’s the added bonus of costumes for conversation starters (I’d expect a lot of people will not be in costume if that’s your flavor).

What to Expect: If you want to feel like you stepped back into a 1970s jazz club and dance to all the best funk and soul music covers, here you go. Expect to hear Stevie Wonder, Otis Redding, Childish Gambino, Prince, etc.
